Hello,
I am curious if anyone has ever found a definitive solution to this issue that has plagued android since Gingerbread. I have been on multiple phones, multiple brands, multiple revisions of the software and have seen this issue on every single one. Here is a list of the phones I have had:
OG Droid (2.2-2.3)
Droid 2 (2.3)
Samsung Charge (2.3)
Droid 4 (2.3-4.2)
Galaxy Note 3 (4.3-4.4)
The issue is:
Your friend sends you a message and they receive a notification that you received it. However, your phone neither alerts you to a message received or shows it in your inbox. However the message IS getting to your phone, because if you install GhostlySMS it catches incoming messages that don't make it into your inbox. So I must then conclude it is a database writing error or something of the like? Is there someone that can help me? I can reproduce the issue rather easily and can grab a logcat if needed.
I am currently running a rooted Verizon Note 3 (running the stock slot, but safestrap is installed) and am getting hardly any of the texts my wife sends me, and I miss quite a few from my father. She is running a rooted Galaxy S4 with Safestrap and Eclipse ROM.
I have searched and searched but so far all I can find are a bunch of "try this, try that" or "factory reset" without any real solid fix. I would like to find a real solution, not a workaround or a factory reset (if possible). I would especially love to know the root cause.
I know I may be asking for the world here, but hoping we could pool our collective consciousnesses to squash this issue once and for all!
Thanks!

So I did a factory reset (actually I completely wiped the entire stock slot, odin'd stock MJE, and then followed Beanstown's guide to get to KK using towelroot. The issue has gone away. However I have my SMS database and so far as I can tell there is nothing wierd. But I am not a DB admin by any means.
I would love to find out why Android eventually loses its ability to reliably write new SMS to the database after a while.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hey guys, im currently using a Nexus S on the ICS platform, thinking it was a genius idea i uninstalled the stock version of MMS and now i cannot recieve text messages, tried using SDK to install a new CM7 MMS.apk but get nothing but "cant find device", tried emailing it to myself but that just says its already installed, im hoping someone out there can guide me in the right direction for actually sorting the issue (albeit caused by my own stupidity )
On a side note im actually shocked how much you can do with an android phone regarding mods, i am definately taking a huge interest in this in the future

I'm new to this forum so I really have no idea what I'm doing. And I'm not crazy smart with my phone. I have a Droid Eris and it's super slow. Everything runs slow even when no applications are open. I dont have a lot of apps open because I have the task killer. I got rid of all my texts too and deleted a few apps. When I go to call someone, it's delayed for about two minutes and finally calls. I also have problems with text messages, sometimes when I go to text back I'll type but nothing will show up in the box where I'm typing. I was reading about roots and such, but I have no idea how to go about doing this or changing everything so it can be faster. I need some serious step by step information as I'm not familiar with all the terms and what everything means. I've seen a few posts about this but don't understand it at all. Please help!
These phones are not fast period lol my fiance uses one and i rooted and flashed many roms to it and it still has a lag....shes running cm7 and its better than the stock rom but still laggy....even on froyo its laggy but guess that what we get using a 3+ year old phone

Is your phone rooted or unrooted? If rooted what ROM are you running?
Either way, when's the last time you deleted a bunch of old text messages? I think I've read that when you have a buildup of a lot of old text (and especially MMS) messages, it can slow your phone down.
If all else fails and you're running the stock (unrooted) ROM, you could try a Factory Reset. The phone will be just like when it was new, so you should back up your apps that you have installed, and their data, if you feel you must, then after the Factory Reset only add things back a little at a time. I find that once your phone has less than 40MB of RAM left on a regular basis, that it really causes it to slow down tremendously.
Halp!
I'm losing my mind trying to figure out the issue here. SMS works fine. Hangouts will only notify of a newly received message if you open Hangouts and are on the conversations list screen (main screen). If you are in a conversation it won't even update of the newly received message until you back back to the main conversations list screen. Doesn't matter if it's on WiFi or mobile data. This is a brand new phone that I bought about a week ago and for the record I'm using the same phone I bought a month ago from the same seller on the same firmware. The only difference is that mine is rooted and I've frozen or uninstalled most all of the bloatware and VZW bullcrap. Otherwise they're identical and one has what seems like an app bug but the other one does not.
I've tried numerous things before posting here (to include lots of searches that only seem to turn up similar issues for those who updated to Lollipop) including uninstalling Hangouts updates as well as Google+ updates as per one thread I saw. Neither had any affect on the issue. I went into the user's Google account to see if any other devices were signed in currently and it doesn't appear to be the issue.
My next step is to root and see if freezing the same apps corrects but where it sits right now would make a warranty exchange through the seller a little bit easier I would imagine.
I'm not really sure what else to try short of accepting the OTA update (Lollipop) which will w/o a doubt introduce more problems than it fixes based on what I've read. Not only that but my LG G3 is functioning just fine on 4.4.2 so I see no reason why the same device shouldn't perform the same on the same firmware version. Makes no sense.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks!
For almost 3 years now, around the time I purchased my Nexus 6 in December of 2014, I've had delayed notifications. I always thought it was a Nexus 6 issue but it seems I was wrong.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Having recently purchased a Note 8, one thing I was really looking forward to was no longer having these delayed notifications. From the moment I set everything up, the issue was and is still present - even on a brand new, unmodified Note 8 purchased directly from my carrier (Telstra, Australia).
This has lead to me to look further into the issue and to finally get to the bottom of what might be causing it and hopefully, get it fixed.
From what I can tell, pretty much anything that uses Google's Cloud Messaging, which I beleive is everything from Gmail to Facebook, Google+ and many others, the notifications will be delayed. Sometimes only a few minutes, sometimes much longer.
Anything that doesn't rely on GCM works perfectly fine. For example, if I use Nine (an Exchange client app) and connect to an Exchange server, those notifications are always perfect. I'll get notified within seconds of receiving the email.
My partner, who has the exact same phone (Note 8) as well as Gmail and Facebook setup, receives notifications instantly (within seconds) and has never had the issue on previous Android devices either. So it's not a carrier issue, nor a WIFI issue, nor a phone issue. It is something directly related to my Google account.
Has anyone ever come across this issue that has been able to successfully resolve it? I've seen a couple of apps on the Play Store that apparently let you fix the issue but you need to be rooted in order for the apps to run. This is simply not an an option.
Given all testing points to something Google Account related, where would be the best place to start looking for a fix?
NOTE:
- I don't use any battery optimisation or task killer apps nor anything related. Never have.
I've come across the following information. It appears as though it may be something to do with this: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/fslYqYrULto/lU2D3Qe1mugJ
Although this looks promising, it doesn't really explain why it would affect some and not others. My partner who is using the same phone with the same carrier, connected to the same WIFI networks doesn't have the issue.

I've never had this issue before, but I've had friends that ran into issues similar to the one you've explained. I'll be sure to ask them what they did to resolve them, and get back to you when I know!

Thank you!
I haven't made much progress here however, I can confirm my carrier is actually taking the time to do some thorough research themselves and ensure there is actually nothing wrong in the background.
Hello,
I asked this question on reddit, and was referred to this forum, so I hope someone might be able to help.
Every time I try to open my LINE app (Galaxy S7, stock 7.0 Nougat, unrooted), it says "LINE has stopped" and I am presented with the option to restart it or submit feedback. When I restart, it changes to "LINE keeps stopping" and only lets me send feedback.
I've tried everything short of uninstalling, including waiting since February for my phone to get an Android update. But it hasn't helped.
When I contacted LINE support, they said it was a known issue with Android phones and they were working on it, but none of the updates since have helped things. Is there a way to fix the app without uninstalling?
I've had this on my phone since I got it, nearly 2 years ago, but neglected to backup my chats, which are now inaccessible to me. So I'd very, very much prefer to find a way to preserve the years of chat history I've accumulated somehow. Can anyone point me towards a guide or program that can help me extract this data from the app without it opening?
Thank you.
